[QUOTE=TatumsMom;2042397]But wouldn't you "brush" the dog first since combing is supposed to be for wet hair? Just trying to verify what I think I've heard before.

I know I do things a little differently than most. I started using the comb on my puppies as it works better than a brush. Now I find that combing works better (for me) even with my adults. I don't get the split ends that I used to and I tried several types of brushes before starting with the comb. I just start at the ends (with the coarse teeth) and work my way toward the roots. I finish off with the fine teeth. So far, I'm getting good results.
